    Not so much as an excuse, but funny story...

    Driving home, four of us, got pulled over by a routine drink-drive check. No probs, driver had not been drinking. While the guard was asking the preliminary questions, my friend leans forward between the cop and the driver, stares the cop right in the eye and says in his finest English accent... "These ahn't the droids you're looking for..."

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    I find "Sorry officer. It's my first time in the USA." usually works.

    A cop?? I don't know, it's been a while since I've been to the US.

    'I'm late for an arms escort at the barracks".

    Works every single time. Except on speed cameras obv. And it helps if you have army gear in the front seat or on you.

    Why the english accent? Obi-Wan wasn't English...

    Athlone bypass, a few years ago, i was speeding, chased by squad , stopped.
    Cop asks me . "What's the rush"
    I replied without thinking..."Different Stages, Disc 2"
    Showed him the CD cover and he just started laughing and let me off....

    Always works for tax/insurance stops: "Oh my goooooooooood I'm actually so embarrassed my Dad usually takes care of all that stuff. I'm so sorry."

    Aaaaaaaand, a flash of cleave and we're away!

    Hate myself for doing it but it works darnit.

    I really ought to be a garda now. :D

    My best excuse: well, the fast food place won't let me in, the choices I had were either going on a wall down a lane or else in the middle of the street, there's a pass machine right here and the fine is about 90ish euro, so if you want to give me the fine, I'll gladly accept it and pay it. And the garda wanted to prove me wrong, so we went up to the local fast food joint and the security said they were closed from about twenty minutes ago and the jacks were outta oerder and I was let away with a very stern talking to about going before I leave to which my reply was, "he just said they're not letting us use the things, hence me heading up the lane" and that was that.

    Following a drunken night in coppers having pulled one or templemore's finest:

    It isn't normally that quick, honest.

    I got what I want, and thats all that matters

    Not really an excuse and I've felt awful for it since but...

    Was sh1tfaced one night and after being removed from a club for falling asleep I was caught p1ssing on a shop door. I then fell asleep without my trousers. Gardai woke me and asked me a lot of questions and I was trying to prove I was a sensible, decent lad really by showing them my student card, my GAA membership card, my drivers license (including a 2 year old skin-headed photo of me).

    Getting desperate, I took out one more card and it turned out to be my membership to the Cancer Society. I sponsored someone in college one day and got one of these cards but the cop looked at it, then my skin headed photo on my license and stared at me.

    They handed everything back to me and told me to take care of myself, flagged down a taxi and made me go home! :(

    Actually I got away with speeding without uttering a word!.

    Long story short.

    Clocked at just over 130 MPH (yes, speed in old money).

    Got out of the car, cop looking me up and down..

    "Ah, your a member - go ahead" (I've the head of a cop on me, and wearing black leather shoes. Dark blue trousers, blue shirt and a fleece)

    [me] "Your a gentleman" and a wink.

    Gets into my car and nearly sh*t myself.

    Cop pulls off, sounds the horn turns around and gives me the thumbs up!.

    Why sad face? All you did was do your best to prove that you're a decent chap. It's not like you beat someone up.

    Speak Irish if you're fluent enough, most of the Gardaí can't even speak English let alone Irish.

    Better yet, chat up the beangarda in Gaelige; usually it's the male cops that have no idea of Irish.
